Awesome. The boards look fantastic and I love the use of the green bin!

Re: My first rink, zamboni and mini goals [PICTURES]
can't wait to see the results of the zamboni with hot water, from what I saw on youtube, looks like it works amazing!
And it's on the cheap side at around 100$ to build.

Re: My first rink, zamboni and mini goals [PICTURES]
Just a quick question, is there any tricks to avoid empty space between the liner and the boards, especially in the corners or should I just take care to make nice folds?
Thanks
Thanks

The water will push the liner against the boards so that you won't have any empty space. The liner will fold itself as the water is pushing against it but you can always make them "nicer" if you prefer.

What's the issue with this one corner with the pylon?

It's where the hose was during the fill so the ice was thinner. Just didn't want to kids to break the ice.
It's fine now, we skated for the first time last night.
